In 1970, Twombly revisited his 1968 painting \u003ci\u003eTreatise on the Veil\u003c\/i\u003e and, in a short period of focused creativity, produced a painting--\u003ci\u003eTreatise on the Veil (Second Version)\u003c\/i\u003e--on a single, 33-foot canvas along with more than a dozen related drawings. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This handsomely produced oversize book features three essays that examine these works in relation to Twombly's oeuvre, contemporaneous explorations of time, the Orpheus myth, and a musical composition that Twombly cited as an influence. Large images and details bring us in close to Twombly's magnificent meditation on time and space. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDistributed for The Menil Collection\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Menil Foundation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/27\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300244571\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 90\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.20h x 14.20w x 0.60d","brand":"Michelle White","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43075420029109,"sku":"9780300244571","price":42.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_27b1fbfd-c73d-4790-8f74-53df07741731.jpg?v=1691465582","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/cy-twombly-treatise-on-the-veil-1970-9780300244571","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
